The highway splits from the Bruce Highway in Goondi just north-west of Innisfail (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".). It then winds through the Wooroonooran National Park to the township of Millaa Millaa, with no major road junctions. It terminates at an intersection with Old Palmerston Highway (now called Beatrice Way)[2] and Main Street (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".).[2] Its total length is 54.6 kilometres.[3]
From Millaa Millaa, State Route 25 continues west and then north as Malanda–Millaa Millaa Road, while Old Palmerston Highway (East Evelyn Road – State Route 24) continues south and then west as a Tourist Drive (not suitable for caravans) to where it meets the Kennedy Highway north of Ravenshoe.
History
The highway was closed in December 2023 after Cyclone Jasper brought landslips, debris and significant damage from heavy rain.[4] It was expected to have one lane operational open from mid-February.[4]
